Post Madhonath kidnapping it was like Nature had restored a balance in KKN office.
Khalid had stopped being aa meddlesome saas. Malvika and Manav had found their way back to each other.
Manav and Kabir had ironed out their pprofessional differences in an unspoken agreement. Richa was now a dedicated reporter to Manav. Kabir and Ananya were the inseparable team!
Kabir and Ananya were the insurmountable team that worked in perfect tandem with eeach other.
'and its a wrap Kabir'- Malvika's voice boomed from PCR -' Well done '
Kabir smiled at her and gave a thumbs up sign to Ananya before he went to the changing room.
'Kya solid news this Ananya. Mazza aa gaya'- Trisha told Ananya while redoing her lipgloss
' Hai na ...agar Kabir ne Tripathi ka angle nahn nikala hota na toh him gaye the...' - Ananya answered all excited
' Kabir huh...Sir kahan gaya' - Richa asked
' Ab ladai khatam ho gayi na.He asked me to call him Kabir and plus Ronnie bhi toh Kabir bolta hai' - Ananya explained.
Kabir strode on the floor and asked Trisha -' Have you got the questions ready for interview tomorrow ?'
Trisha nodded her head and handed over a sheet of questions to Kabir.
Kabir wished the ladies good night and headed to his cabin
'Kaunsi interview ?' - Ananya asked.
'Woh Preeti Verna hai na , upcoming actress uski interview hai'
' Kabir is doing Bollywood interviews . why?' - Ananya asked puzzled
' she is signing some big deal with a production house and she wants to give exclusive to Kabir '- Trisha added
' Let's hope ki interview hi exclusive ho...' - Both Trisha and Richa laughed. Ananya joined them but she could not ignore a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Next morning Ananya reached office to find an extremely gorgeous Preeti sitting in Kabir's cabin.
' Abhi se aa gayi ...' - Ananya asked as she sat down
' Haan aayi bhi Kabir Sir ke saath. She wants to be comfortable in her new surrounding. She says she gives best interviews then.- Trisha laughed
' kitne ki bet lagi ki aaj ka dinner aur dessert Preeti aur Kabir saath mein kareinge' - Trisha asked the other two girls...
' Not possible. Tonight he has to go for that Editor in chief ka panel interview '- Ananya reasoned.
She picked her notepad and went to Kabir's cabin.
' Sir woh kidnapping case ka update dena tha'- she told Kabir while blatantly ignoring Preeti
' Kaafi aazadi hai yahan rreporters ko , bina knock kiya as jaatein hai'- Preeti drawled in a fake sugary voice.
' Woh toh hai. We are a democracy as we dobt believe in living lives behind closed doors like Bollywood, kyon Priya?' - Ananya matched her fake sugary tone
' Preeti '!- Kabir corrected her
' Oh sorry , Preeti ! '- Ananya offered her fake apology.
Kabir knew it was better to get his stupid reporter out of his cabin before she dug out her well manicured painted claws.
' Ananya, tum chalk I will join you in 5 mins in the conference room' -/Kabir told her.
Kabir joined her a little while later and found Ananya to be sulking.
' Miss Ananya KKashyap mind telling me what was that drama about' - Kabir asked smiling
Ananya just shrugged her shoulders telling him that she had no clue what he was talking aabout.
' Really Ananya , are you trying to tell me that you had no clue what her name is ?' - he asked as her leaned against the table right infront of her.
' Whatever ! She was rude and you did nothing to correct her '- she huffed
Kabir smiled -' Bolne ka mauka diya Ananya. Aap toh seedha shikar pe tut padi'
' great! Galti toh hamesha meri hoti hai..'- She whined
' that's not what I said. What I'm saying is that you are a very strong woman who can defend herself and stand up for what she bbelieves in. Tumko lagta hai I would have let her get away with it' - he smiled down at her.
THey discussed the case and Kabir was heading out when he told Ananya -' Ananya please ask Khalid to go for the editor panel tonight. I won't be able to make it'
' what ?' - Ananya jumped from her seat and stood right in front of him barely inches apart .
' How can you ? ...how can you be so careless about your eengagements ? Khalid is not the editor in chief you are '- she told him in a dangerously low voice.
Kabir was taken aback and had no clue what had gotten into his favourite reporter.
' Ananya relax. It is just a panel' - he reasoned with her.
' just a pAbel? Yeh aapki reasoning hai. Kal toh yeh channel bhi bus ek channel ho gaya. Main bhi ek koi obscure reporter hungi...' - Kabir cut her short and held her gently by her arms.
'Anaya where is all this coming from?' - he asked her
' you dobt have to make excuses. Just because you want to have dinner with Preeti you dont have to lie' - Ananya said with her voice breaking slightly. She had no idea why was she feeling annoyed and upset at the same time
Kabir smiled and told her-' so you think I'm not going to the panel because I'm going out for dinner with Preeti. And this is bothering you because ...?'
Kabir knew that the two of them always were meant be more than friends but he was always waiting for Ananya to take the first step. And today when she had taken the first stride , he was not going to let her go...
' I don't know. I dobt want your career to suffer' - she added lamely.
'C'mon Ananya you can do much better than this.'- he said as he closed the distance between them with their bodies touching each other.
He brought his hand and traced her lose curl with his finger -' the answer is right there with the jealously '- added pointing towards her heart .
She looked at him and gulped
' Right there in your heart Ananya! So tell me why '- he waited for her answer
' Because I love you' - she whispered loud enough for him to hear.
He snaked his arms around her waist and told her -' Atta girl! BTW , we have to go to orphage tonight for dinner . Anurag scored 87 in his boards. I told him we will have dinner with him '
She squirmed in his arms. This swine of a man. He could have told her this earlier but he didn't!
' I'm glad I didn't tell you earlier. Meri umar nikal jaati tumse izhaar karate karate...' - he winked at her.
He bent down and crashed his lips on hers. He tasted her strawberry lips and between breaths told her -' I love you too Meri stupid jealous reporter'...
